Born and raised in Wyoming, it was easy to find photographic opportunities at every turn. For as long as I can remember, I have been snapping photos. First with a Polaroid as a young girl and now with a Nikon D810. I am self-taught & learned to photograph by trial and error and a lot of patience. Growing up, I enjoyed taking pictures to remind myself of the where and when of a moment. After moving to the Grand Circle area of Arizona in 2013, I found photography was the best way to share my new adventures with old family and friends. With my husband and 2 daughters in tow, we extensively hiked and explored the Colorado River, Grand Staircase-Escalante & Lake Powell areas. Prior to moving south we always trekked through Yellowstone and the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. We recently moved home to Wyoming and now live up the South Fork in Cody.

My small family & I explore and adventure together. Each photo has a story, a hike & adventure behind the camera. The natural beauty, wildlife & phenomenal geology of the Cody area astound me. I do not photoshop my photos. Instead I focus on capturing images that represent the natural beauty of the landscape.

I print on high quality aluminum that is UV and scratch resistant.My prints are heavy gauge metal, ensuring the highest level of durability. They are so durable, that many of them hang in direct sunlight and exposed to the elements at Lake Powell docks in Arizona & Utah. Aluminum will ensure your prints will last for decades to come, with no fading, even when hung in direct sunlight.I prefer this medium as a method of displaying my photos, because I feel it brings the picture to life for the viewer. You see what I see when I snap my photos, and that is the enchantment that has driven my passion for photography. Please enjoy the views and the unique medium of metal. Take in the raw, un-edited beauty of the nature around us!
